Slovakia cuts emergency power to Ukraine amid oil transit dispute
Bratislava halted emergency electricity supplies to Kyiv after Kyiv did not restore Druzhba oil transit, as Slovakia and Hungary pressed Kyiv on oil flows; Prime Minister Robert Fico warned of further measures, including reevaluating support for Ukraine’s EU bid. Ukraine condemned the move as blackmail as the Druzhba pipeline remains disrupted after a Russian drone attack, with Kyiv proposing alternative routes and ongoing repairs while Slovakia declares an oil emergency to secure domestic supply.
